Wish the director had left it ambiguous if anything supernatural was going on. Watching a dog watch its beloved owner wither away in a creepy old house is more than frightening/gripping enough on its own. All the jump scares, bad CGI, and cliched horror imagery just take away from the experience.

I've loved this scene ever since I first saw it decades ago. It's Lavant and Carax at their best.

Crank 2 is one of the only American movies that comes close to capturing the insanity of a Story of Ricky or Tetsuo the Iron Man. You know that wild first ten minutes of Miike’s DOA before the film slows waaaayyy down? That’s this entire movie.
